SQUARE ENIX DESTROYS THE LINE BETWEEN SINGLE PLAYER AND MULTIPLAYER GAMEPLAY

Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, this week unleashes MINDJACK, an innovative action (online) shooter that blurs the line between traditional single- and multiplayer gameplay by thrusting real-world players into the roles of in-game enemies, allies and cybernetic creatures at any time.

“MINDJACK takes everything you know about both single and multiplayer games and completely turns it on its head,” said Ned Browning, European Brand Manager. “Players across Xbox Live or PlayStation Network can instantly hack into your game and join as friend or foe, taking control of all manner of humans, mechanised infantry and cybernetically enhanced creatures. The way MINDJACK seamlessly blends its story-driven campaign mode into a unique multiplayer shooter makes for a truly unforgettable experience.”

Developed in Japan by feelplus inc., MINDJACK will be available in North America from January 18th, 2011, and throughout Europe and other PAL territories from January 21st, 2011, for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
